1971 Ford Bronco - 2008 Top Truck Challenge Finalist

There's not much "Bronco" left to Brandon's tubed-up Ford save the front clip and grille, though the Windsor V-8 and C6 do remain true to Blue Oval heritage. A Warn 9.5XP winch resides on the front tube bumper, and rolling stock comprises 46-inch Mickey T Claws on 15-inch USA 6x6 rims.

Hailing from Colorado, Brandon Lammers' '71 Bronco may be the closest thing to a "real-world" TTC rig in our field this year-that is, if you can get past the Rockwell running gear and 46-inch rubber. The engine and tranny are pretty much stock, the rig rides on old-school leaf springs, and Brandon estimates he's only got some $25 grand invested in his TTC contender.

Keepin' it simple. A pair of well-worn seats taken from a '91 Mitsu Eclipse and a Grant GT steering wheel adorn the Bronco's Spartan interior. The twin sticks for the Atlas 'case are placed high on the tranny hump to better accommodate the lever-actuated hydro-steering box beside the driver seat, and an Edelbrock Pro-Flo module on the dash monitors injection rates.
